Why can't I change song info for a song I have downloaded from i-tunes in i-tunes 11?

I bought it, it should be mine to change the name of it if I please. I like to keep single songs together in album made up of my creation and apple have taken that away from me.

I have the same problem. When I click "Get info", everything is grayed out and I'm unable to change track names, artist names, album names, or anything at all. I have iTunes Match if that matters.
What's going on?

  • Why can't I change the content for some songs when I click the Get Info button?

    Why can't I change the content for some songs when I click the Get Info button?  The information on the song, artist, genre is grayed out and will not allow me to alter the information.

  • I can no longer edit the info for my songs, movies and tv shows.  This occurred since I loaded Windows 7 Pro on my C drive, and then fownloaded ITunes 10.  Why will the program not allow me to access the track info to edit it?

    Ah yes school boy error there out of frustration and discontent..
    My issue is with music/apps/films etc not downloading from iTunes / App Store.
    They initially fail and message is displayed stating unable to download / purchase at this time, yet if I retry it says I've already purchased (?) or alternatively I go to the purchased section and there they are waiting with the cloud symbol..
    However some items get frozen in the download window and cannot be retried or deleted. Message appears stating to tap to retry, but even if you stole every bath and sink in the uk you'd still not have enough taps.
    I post here as the iTunes guys are useless in there 'help' and have only advised posting here or phoning apple, at my expense, to explain a problem that could be rectified by forwarding my original email to a techie. However the tech team apparently don't have an email address as they're from ye olde Middle Ages..!
    Anyways I digress.
    So I tried sync to pc, but instead of showing the file as ready to listen/use/view, the iCloud symbol shows and I'm back to square one as the item is unable to download..
    At frustration station waiting for a train from pain...
    All my software is up to date, and had all worked fine prior to the last big iOS update that resulted in all the changes in display and dismay.

  • HT3775 why can't i open real time or quick time, I have downloaded software

    WEY CAN'T I OPEN REAL TIME OR QUICK TIME,
    I HAVE DOWNLOADED BOTH APPS.  DO I NEED A WINDOWS PROGRAM TO RUN AND IF SO WHAT?

    Try deleting the .plists.
    Application corruption problems: You need to look in your user Library/Preferences for the .plist. Hold down the option key while using the Finder "Go To Folder" command. Enter ~`/Library. Delete the .plist(s) for the application.
    If you prefer to make your user library permanently visible, use the Terminal command found below.
    http://osxdaily.com/2011/07/04/show-library-directory-in-mac-os-x-lion/
    You might want to bookmark the command. I had to use it again after I installed 10.8.2. I have also been informed that if you drag the user library to Finder it will remain visible.

  • Why can't I change the order of the songs on a playlist on my iPhone?

    When I try to change the order of the songs in my playlists, my iPhone continues to put the song back where it started.  I can add songs all day long, but I cannot change the order.  The other problem I am having is the same iPhone will, instead of moving the song I tap and drag, will move a different song.  It is usually one of the songs either above or below the one I tap, but not the one that I see moving when I tap and hold. 
    Any thoughts would be appreciated.

    That's the normal intended behaviour of the Library. I'm not exactly sure why it is, but I guess it's to make it clear to users that if they want to "fine tune" the tracks they should use a playlist (just like you can't use the burn button in the library).
    I'm sure you've noticed that you can still sort the library by clicking the headings.

  • I can't change the info for my songs on the new iTunes

    Ever since I updated to the new iTunes, I have been having issues changing some of the information for some of my songs and albums.  I checked the file location to see if the "read only" box was checked, and it was not.  How can I fix this?  Anyone else having this issue?

    Sometimes logging out of iTunes can free up the editing.
    Do you use iTunes Match?

  • Why can't I change the genre on my songs

    I am trying to change the genre on my Christmas songs to Christmas instead of Holiday and it will not change.  Have done this in the past so I'm confused as to why it won't work now.  I had to reinstall all my music from a external hard drive after having to reset my computer, did I do something wrong?

    Never mind, fixed it.

  • Why can I not change the setting for my iPhone 4s to stop making a woosh sound when I send txts?

    They should have an option under settings to turn this off, but they do not. It is not right to have to turn my iPhone on silent just to get away from it.

    This seems to have been asked a lot around the net, however, there doesn't seem to be an adequate answer to it.
    I am running:
    Operating system is Windows 7Motherboard is Q67H2-AM v1.1
    Bios is ACER ver. 2.10.1207
    GPU is GTX 770
    PSU is 700w
    The Graphics card is plugged in to the 16x slot, the fans spin, but no display and no device is recognized in device manager.
    I have tried a few solutions including uninstalling my onboard graphics driver from the device manager and going to upgrade my 600w power supply to a 700w one.
    I think the issue is that I need to change the BIOS to PEG or PCI Express. However, in the Bios the settings for both "Primary Video" and "Onboard Graphics" are grayed out, meaning that I can't change them.

  • Why can't I change search engines for right click?

    I used to be able to determine the search engine used for highlight/right click searching by selecting from the drop down menu in the search box. Whichever was the active search engine was the right click search engine. Firefox 34 only allows the default engine for right click. This is awful, it is one of the most important features to me in Firefox, depending on what I was searching for I often switched between various engines. Why the decision to reduce usability? I probably will go back to Opera if this function isn't re-instated.
    BTW, never in a million years will I use Yahoo. i made a habit of deleting it from my list of search engines, it always had a sort of National Enquirer feel about it. I also made a point of ignoring Yahoo Answers if they came up in a query. The amount of wrong information was stunning.

    The recent changes to the Search Bar are undoubtedly causing much consternation for some users. It was much easier to select a different search engine from the Search Bar with the old scheme

  • Why can't I connect my Macbook to this new printer? Downloaded from HP and Apple and disc. No

    My HP Envy 120 died today after just 13 months. Bought the Envy 5530 to replace it. My Macbook running lion 10.7.9 cannot install the software from Apple, HP, or the disc drive. Please someone tell me what to do. it seems crazy that each site recommends the other for download. If the download wasn"t possible wouldn't they be gracious enough to give me error message. life is too short for all of this. Have installed ink cartriges, but will be taking back tomorrow if I can't get it to work. Need a printer! thank you so much for ANY help! Very grateful in advance.
    This question was solved.

    Thank you so much. Had a crazy few days just didn't have time to address. It works perfectly! So relieved! My son in 9th grade and final week of 3rd quarter, before spring break. So much work to print and turn in. Thank you again, just awesome!
